I love how very Filipino and probinsya vibe Buddy's is. First things first I love their Pancit Lucban or what they called Pancit Habhab best paired with their Perronni and Ham Pizza.

Buddy’s is an outstanding example on how to properly showcase regional cuisine. This is actually a restaurant that I have been curious about for a long time.
This branch is quite smaller but they still maintained the festive interiors (though it was quite dark that time).
I ordered Palabok Special (P110.00) because there's no Pancit Lucban that's good for one. It has tofu, shrimp, squid(?), and it was saucy. I wish it was saltier (but that's just my preference). Anyway, it was okay and I was satisfied.
Ah, my favorite go-to place whenever I am craving for pancit habhab, or my mom's too lazy to cook, or we just probably need some serving of pancit, or every time there is a party at home. Haha. A place so festive, you'll probably miss Lucban, Quezon! With the kiping and all the interior design, and lastly the pancit and langgonisang Lucban, it feels like I'm back to my mom's province every time we eat here.
Buddy's is just a 10-minute walk from our house, so when my sinigang craving kicks in, I go straight here.
I love their sinigang sa miso and pancit habhab. Most of the time, I order for take out and the food is still piping hot when I get home.
There's room for improvement in their preparation time as it takes quite a long wait before your food arrives. All in all, great and reliable Filipino food.
Gustong-gusto ko yung interior nila napaka-festive. At yung tables.
Gusto ko rin yung timpla ng suka nila.
At yung serving time mabilis naman, sakto lang para sa klase ng mga dishes na lulutuin.
1 or 2 isn't enough! I need a dozen of Lucban Sausage -- aka "LONGGANISANG LUCBAN" (from the province of Quezon, PH)
.
. -- this sausage/longganisa is made from ground pork with lots of garlic, herbs and maybe their town's secret spice ingredient 😊 cause really, you could finish the whole plate! .
.
If you don't want to travel too far.. You can have these mouth savoring longganisas at @buddysph located in Timog Ave, Q.C.! Have this dozen for only P155! They also serve a lot of varieties of authentic Lucban dishes, all at an affordable price! 😋
Yes! This is super delish and purff, BUT, I do not recommend to eat this for breaky when you have meetings or gatherings. WHY?? --- YOU'LL SURELY HAVE A GARLICKY MOUTH FOR THE REST OF THE DAY ✌😂 (toothbrushing isn't effective too 😝) #longganisanglucban
If you’re looking for an authentic pancit Lucban, Buddy’s will satisfy your taste buds’ cravings. Their sisig and lumpiang sariwa are very on-point as well. The place reminds me of the fiestas I usually attend to in the province. Feels like I’m in a sunflower festival. 🌻❤️
You really can’t go wrong with Buddy’s when you are craving for a Filipino food experience. I usually order their chami noodles but today, we binged to their Pancit Lucban. Super good especially when paired with their vinegar. Their longganisa is a must try and so as that chicken with crispy noodles. The ambiance is so fiesta-like and the place is clean. This is the biggest Buddy’s branch that I’ve seen so far.
I have heard so much about this place, and when I finally stepped into their resto, I was in heaven! Longanisa Heaven that is! The best meal I have had in Manila. So good I bought frozen batches and brought it back to Dubai. It is a must-taste, especially if you love longanisa like I do! Plus, they have a selection of Pinoy delicacies that MUST be brought back to wherever you are in the world. I brought back Meringue, Puto Seko and Broas! Yummmm!
Good food and good location with parking. Generous serving of pancit lucban is a must try!! :)
Value for money! Will definitely go back to this place,
This place is buzzing with people when we arrived. Altho finding a seat isnt that bad (since were just 2). Upon entering you'd be greeted with the server and the nice ambiance. Kinda reminisce of the restos in the province.
Price. Price isn't much of a factor here. Its as budget as it can get. I love the setup of the place here. It has a 2nd floor as well.
Ambiance. There will be times where it could get crowded. Its a popular option for those who would want to get their stomach filled and stuffed without the hefty price tag.
Parking. There is ample space available on the side. So parking won't be a problem.
Will come back here once in a while. With the many restos in the area of tomas its very difficult to be back here. But this is one of those places where you'd want your filipino fix.
Best authentic Vigan longganisa ever! The restaurant jingle is a bit irritating for playing nonstop, but 5 stars nonetheless! Great food, great sauces, best atchara!
My friend introduced me to this place years ago and we keep coming back ever since. I personally love the noodles and the great atmosphere this place brings.
Hello, it's My from Best Ever Food Review Show.
I’m sorry to write here again but, I was discussing about making a video for your restaurant with Ms. Ysabelle about 1 week ago but so far she hasn’t replied my last email. I also messaged on facebook but still no one replies. Since we really need to finalize the shooting schedule within this week. Could you please let her know about my email ?
I will really appreciate this. Thank you so much and regards.
Really pretty place and has friendly servers. Has a parking area. Easy to find place. The food was really tasty. Not so expensive and food comes in huge servings.
Its a go to classic place for me and friends when we want affordable, filling, savory Filipino food thats great for sharing. You'll be sureball full after eating here.
Made some memories here and will keep on making them when the friends are over.

Real and authentic Food from Quezon province.
Very straighforward
Nothing fancy
The food i ordered were all Delicious. The store is open until 12midnight.
I ordered:
1) pansit habhab - 5/5 P230.00 - heavy serving and good for 4 pax :)
2) hardenera - 5/5 P 150 +++ - yummy pork omellette that everyone should try.
3) lucban longanisa meal - 5/5 i’m loving the pork sausage meal P150 +++ fairly served but very yummy.
4) “ budin “ aka cassava cake - p65 its worth trying rice cake. Very masarap.
The restaurant is adequate in terms of cleanliness, but the service is fast and crew are efficient to every needs of customers.
This store is worth coming back for.
I am an avid fan of pancit and I have to say that Buddy’s Pancit is in my top three favorites. The garlicky taste is what I really like about it. Having bigger than usual pieces of pork is a big plus, too. Serving-wise, the 200 peso pancit is cheap because it is good for up to 4 people. Their longganisa is also a staple that you need to get in case you drop by in one of their branches.
Its a good place for merienda especially their lumpia. The place has parola designs. They offer the best food Quezon has to offer. Worth every penny.
Me and my family have been here several times. We really like the food here and especially, the ambience of the place. The place was so lively and it boosts one's appetite
Okay sana kaso nagtakeout kami ng pancit na pang 2-3 kaso binigay isang sachet ng suka lang. Di kumpleto ang lasa ng pancit lucban kung walang suka. Sabi ng staff isang sachet lang daw talaga binibigay tas chinarge na kami sa extra, P12 per sachet.
If you want a taste of authentic Longganisang Lucban, Pancit Habhab, Budin and other Lucban delicacies. You can taste it anytime at Buddy's Restaurant Which is located at different branches here in the Metro. Buddy's main branch is at Lucban Quezon which made a name here as well,
Nice food, good ambiance and friendly staff. Keep it up and we love your food. We have a good experience in celebrating our baby shower for our twins.
The place looks nice, simple and spacious. The servers were accommodating as well. We tried their bulalo which was good but we prefer more salt. We also tried their porkchop which tasted really nice. We also tried their sizzling bangus which was cooked perfectly but I didn't like the sauce. Overall, it's a cheap place to satisfy your Filipino food cravings! ❤️❤️❤️
My personal fave is their Lucban longganisa, dine in or take out to cook at home :) it's a good choice to take the whole family and it's affordable too.
A good place to bring the family especially if you have that sibling that is a pancit lover! They also have sizzling, grilled and even soup meals. I usually order the 2pc fried porkchop. 🐷 The branch here in Timog has more space than in Ortigas where I usually go with friends. A must try is their Pancit Lucban. 🍜
Every time I would think of eating pancit, first thing that comes to my mind is Buddy's. They have the best pancit. Food were affordable. Good place for budgeted like me. Place is crowded.
Eating pansit with vinegar instead of calamansi?? Thanks to a friend who introduced Buddy's to me. I didn't know it could be a great combination. Their menu is filled with Filipino dishes, too many to choose from. I have tried the calderetang baka, sizzling chicken, beef bulalo, daing na bangus and ofcourse the famous pansit lucban. Staffs are nice and accomodating. They also have a fast service. Though parking space is limited.
I first tasted it in it's original branch in Lucban Quezon and been telling people how good their food is since! Nothing beats their pansit habhab, with all those crispy lechon topings and the unexpected vinegar partner. I'm drooling just writing this review. ❤

We ate here almost every lunch during my internship in a clinic near this place. I always order their porkchop because the serving was really big and I was always hungry. The place has a nice filipino sosyaling carinderia vibe to it. The price was reasonable enough although not really student friendly. They have a clean CR. Really limited parking.
There home-tasting pizza is the best! Just the right thickness of crust, and also flavorful cheese melted on top, and they do not conserve on toppings.
I also love their spaghetti, the regular and the one with bacon are both lovely!
It was my first time, and the experience was great. It's good for team lunch because they offer barkada packages. The place is beautiful, swear the interior designs on the wall was inspired by pahiyas festival as I saw it.🌻 The food service experience was impeccably good. The food is delicious, try their best seller pancit lucban and fried chicken. 😊
Lucban's longganizas are explicit. The distinct taste makes you eat more. Garlics are heaven, you just can't resist. I've tried many longganizas but Lucban's one of the best.

My family eats here at Buddy's every now and then. I love how lively and vibrant the ambiance is :) It's really going to catch your attention when passing by around Timog, particularly in the evening.
The food- we usually have their pancit lucban, chami and longganisang lucban. For once, we also tried their sisig, bulalo, and pizza.
Pancit Lucban - do always eat the pancit with the vinegar. Eating it without the vinegar tastes like your typical pancit.
Chami - love the taste of the noodles, I like the hint of sweetness in the chami. There's a lot of sauce and sometimes hard to get with with a serving spoon fork because of the slimy texture
Longganisang lucban - I super love their longganisa since I always want longganisa to be more garlicky than sweet
Bulalo - it may not be unique but it's still good. Their servings are huge and good enough for 4-6 people.
Sisig - I personally haven't tried the sisig but my dad liked it. :)
Pizza - Nothing special about it, but it tastes fine. Not to mention it's not oily like some pizzas.
It's usually full during dinner time and weekends and if you're just near the area, Buddy's have delivery services and may consider having your food delivered. But if you want to experience the festive ambiance of the restaurant, probably sacrifice a couple of minutes until there are available tables :)
I'm from Atimonan, Quezon & when my balikbayan friend asked me for a place to taste good filipino food, I suggested Buddy's. I ordered d pancit lucban & longganisa lucban w/c my friend feasted on. I loved d lumpiang sariwa & sizzling bangus. The place was nice & appreciated by my friend as she loved sunflowers so much. We brought home 2 orders of pancit for our families to taste it as well.
Love this branch! I adore the lights because they're so festive - it reminds me of Christmas :)
Buddy's is known for their pancit, but I've tried other dishes, like the sizzling bangus and pork BBQ, and it's pretty good. I've been curious about their longganisa lucban pizza though.
Servings are definitely good for sharing, which is what I like. I always order their pancit lucban to-go because they make great gifts for when I go over people's houses, and it's pretty cheap!
[+] bownie points: parking! Since it's at the corner, there's parking on Timog AND Scout Ybordalaza :)
Our go to place for our breakfast all day fix. The toasted large lucban longganisa, fried egg and garlic rice combination is heavenly! We order the longga by the pack because 2 or 3 pcs certainly won't be enough! Pancit habhab is consistently good! My mom loved the pork amplaya too! Giving it a 5 because this is the only resto, to date, where Baby girl eats by her happy self and she eats a lot too!
Only one word to describe Buddy's -- YUMMY! I've always loved their pancit lucban but during our recent visit, we ordered miki bihon instead. We also ordered the hardinera, vigan longganisa and halo halo. We didn't have to wait too long to get our orders which was great because I was starving by the time we got to the place. It was clean and there were enough seats for all diners at the time. It was my first time to try their hardinera and it didn't disappoint. The real chunks of meat and bell pepper and the other ingredients blended really well and had just the right balance of sweet, sour and salty. The price was okay too so this is definitely everyone's buddy.
Not bad for a first timer. Had that most recommended pancit lucban, that's eaten with vinegar & garlic. Weird? Actually, tastes good. And their pork bbq was soo tender. Affordable prices, too! 😊

Lolo/ Tito Tavy invited my dad and I today for late lunch. We all decided to eat pancit Lucban since we wanted to try something new today aside from the usual pancit bihon or Canton that Filipinos order. :) We had white native puto as partner of the pancit. Oh! Don't forget to place special vinegar on your pancit, it adds magic to the dish!
I like the elegance of the restaurant. It is fiesta-themed, it has gold accent and you'll see your reflection everywhere due to their large mirrors.
I recommend this Resto for pinoys who crave for Filipino dishes. Their dishes come in affordable prices and they also have caring staff. :)
Buddy's is an affordable place to get your Quezon fix. The Pancit Lucban and their longganisa taste delicious, if not, authentic. Big servings also for the dinuguan and chopsuey.
Our food took too long to serve, maybe because they just opened. Crew were not very attentive.
I would definitely go back to Buddy's. Always a reason to celebrate here.
The price is very reasonable and they also serve delicious food. They serve good Pinoy foods but I cannot say that it is the best. The experience is still worth it though esp the pancit.. :)
Halo-halo was average... Not the best resto that I would recommend to alien friends who would like to try our Filipino specialty dessert, but I love their other dishes such as the pork sisig, miki bihon and baby back ribs which I will truly recommend. ;)
I like this place so homey and every body is in festive mood, interior is quite similar to Fil-Hispanic house in the province. My all time favorite is of course the Pancit Lucban so delicious with generous toppings, Longanisa Lucban, and the Sizzling Chicken teriyaki taste good, Must try their Buddy's Halo Halo its a winner.
The place is extravagant. Very nice furnitures and comfy place. The staffs are accommodating. The menu is affordable and tastes good. Great serving size and great value for money. Best for family eat out.
I've once rented a unit at President's Tower and during that time, I always have lunch or dinner at Buddy's for at least twice a week. Try their Hardenera, it's the best!
It feels like we were at Lucban because of its interior. It was our first time to taste Pancit Lucban and Longganisang Lucban, it was good! We love their 'suka'!
I love the foods. My all-time favorites are Pancit and Crispy Pata. The sizzling dishes are also great. The ambiance is a little bit cozy with a fiesta-like decoration. Cool place. Well air-coinditioned. The best thing about Buddy's is budget friendly. Affordable and quality foods. ♡♡♡
Theburger was a little bit dry. However i enjoyed the ambiance, pancit and the couch. The crews are accomodating and polite. I cant say anything hahaha
It was like a fiesta. Their decorations were really attractive speacially at night. At first, when we passed by here, we thought it was a luxury buffet. But when we tried to dine in, their prices were really cheap. Very affordable for a golden place. Their pancit and halo halo tasted soooooo great! They serve huge servings as well.

This place is where you should go if you want a budget friendly good homestyle cooking food! Been here for the nth time! You should too! So.... What are you waiting for? Tara, chow time!
Whenever I'm craving for lucban longganisa, I would always ask my boyfriend to come and eat with me in this restaurant. The first time he ate in Buddy's, he was amazed with how good the taste of the Pancit Habhab with suka is.
Our usual order is 1 dozen of lucban longganisa, 2 cups of garlic rice and pancit habhab. That's good enough for the two of us.
We frequent this branch among all of their branches in the metro. Its a great place for a 'lutong bahay' fix. This is one of my favorite Filipino restaurants actually. They have the best pork sisig and the pancit lucban is also very flavorful. All branches by the way are festooned with colorful decorations which is another thing I like about Buddy's. Reminds me of the yearly festivals we celebrate in the province. Check kirconism.wordpress.com for a full review.

After sweating ourselves on a Thursday night, my Zumba Instructor, my friend and I decided to eat at our favorite hangout place, Buddys!
The place was well lit and catchy in the area since its very big. The inside was clean and well ventilated as well.
We ordered our normal, the usual. Let's start with Pancit Lucban (P195) which is their best seller. We really enjoyed every strand of the pancit coz its very tasty. The pancit was loaded with vegetables and shrimp and all. Another favorite is Hardenera (P160) which is like a spam loaded with egg and other ingridients. I love how they cooked it because it looks steamed but its not. tasty on every bite!
Another mist try is their Longganisa (P135) small in size but worth every bite! Add vinegar to taste and your meal is perfect! A new addition to our menu is Lumpiang Ubod (P80) which I'm really quiet interested. Its big and looks dull even with the sauce. We should have ordered Lumpian Shanghai instead.
If you want to eat your heart out without spending too much, Buddys is the place to be! Shell out price starts at 200 to enjoy a full meal.
